PLYMOUTH UCC (FORT COLLINS, CO)

Transitional Ministry


information station

Transitional ministry is a focused and intentional approach to ministry
designed to support Plymouth Congregational Church through this time of change,
helping you to emerge stronger and more equipped for the future. 
As our congregation’s interaction with the focus points continues to unfold,
these processes of sense making are strengthened
even as the attention shifts from the past to a dynamic present.
